It was a video call from Gu Yunzhen.
Well!
Has he not boarded the plane yet?
Did he really miss his flight? Was he on a private jet?
Shangguan Wu's mind was wandering, and he lightly swiped his finger across the screen.
Gu Yunzhen's handsome, fair face appeared on the screen.
Her eyes reddened slightly as she looked at it, but she didn't say anything.
Gu Yunzhen stared at the screen, his voice gentle as water: "Wife, don't be sad. The brat is easy to raise, he'll get through a lot. If you don't believe me, go ask Mom. All four of us brothers got through it."
"..."
How can he comfort someone like that? Isn't he just trying to make her cry?
Shangguan Wu didn't continue the topic, but asked him, "Was your flight delayed?"
Gu Yunzhen parted his thin lips slightly: "Yes, I just flew my private jet over during the National Day holiday."
Shangguan Wu urged, "Then hurry up and go upstairs. Zaizai and I will wait for you to come back, mwah!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone, feeling embarrassed.
In fact, Shangguan Wu would rather Gu Yunzhen scold her than comfort her like this.
But Gu Yunzhen's words made her feel as sweet as if she had drunk honey.
How incredibly pretentious!
???
Yezhou Island, 11 p.m.
Wu Lizhen sat in front of the dressing table in the room, sipping red wine, her eyes gazing dreamily at the woman in the mirror.
She's not wearing makeup now, and looks bland and uninteresting, which makes her even more jealous of Wu Xiaoxiao.
Both are daughters of the Wu family, but Wu Xiaoxiao is ten times prettier than her and has the affection of so many men. What makes her so special?
Why does she deserve all of this?!
Wu Lizhen grew angrier the more she thought about it, and finally gulped down the red wine.
A spicy and stimulating taste instantly filled her taste buds, but Wu Lizhen felt nothing but anger.
"Hmph! Wu Xiaoxiao, I will definitely ruin your reputation!" Wu Lizhen said through gritted teeth.
After tonight, Wu Xiaoxiao will become an object of ridicule, and from then on she will never be able to hold her head up again, and may even be abandoned by the whole world.
She wants to make her lose everything, including her love and friendship!
Thinking of this, Wu Lizhen revealed a smug and sinister smile.
Put down the wine glass, pick up the phone again, open the contacts, dial a number you haven't contacted in a long time, and then hold it to your ear and wait for the other person to answer.
Who is it?
Upon hearing this, Wu Lizhen said ingratiatingly, "Good evening, Master Meng. I am Lizhen. Do you remember me?"
"Get to the point."
Wu Lizhen's smile froze for a moment, and her voice changed slightly: "I'd like to discuss a deal with Master Meng. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
"What transaction?"
Although Master Meng's voice was low on the phone, it carried an air of authority that instilled fear in people.
Wu Lizhen said shyly, "I want Master Meng to help me with something. I will offer you sufficient compensation. If Master Meng is willing, I can also stay with you for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Master Meng sneered, "You're that eager to sell?"
Wu Lizhen felt a lump in her throat upon hearing this.
But she finally found out he had returned to China and didn't want to give up so easily.
"Mr. Meng, just tell me if you'll help me or not. I really don't know who else to ask for help besides you." Wu Lizhen deliberately sounded pitiful.
"Get to the point!"
"My cousin and my second uncle have a very bad relationship. My second uncle doesn't approve of the man my cousin has his eye on. I want to help my cousin out. If my cousin and that man are caught lying in bed together in front of everyone, then even if my second uncle doesn't approve, he'll have to agree with it!" Wu Lizhen didn't forget to beautify herself while scheming against Wu Xiaoxiao.
"Who is your cousin? Who is that man?"
"My cousin is Wu Xiaoxiao, and that man is Pei Kaiwen. They are staying at the Royal Court Five-Star Hotel, room number 1205." This is what Wu Lizhen found out through her investigation.
"Ten million is fine, I don't need anyone."
"..."
Wu Lizhen was so angry that her eyes turned red. Didn't he think she was worth ten million?
"Master Meng!"
“Little girl, I’m old enough to be your father. In my eyes, you’re just a little sparrow that hasn’t even grown its feathers yet, you know? If you agree to this deal today, I’ll accept it. If you don’t, this is the last time we’ll talk…”
Wu Lizhen interrupted him urgently: "I agree! I agree, okay?"
"I'll send the account number to your phone. Once I get paid, I'll start working for you."
After saying that, Mr. Meng hung up the phone.
"Where do I sound familiar with the name Pei Kaiwen?"
Master Meng narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Suddenly, Master Meng remembered that this was the grandson of the old lady of the Ding family in Xizhou City.
Thinking of Xizhou City, Master Meng inevitably thought of one person.
The Ji family and the Ding family seem to be related by some means?
Let's just consider it repaying this favor.
Grandpa Meng picked up his phone and dialed a number he remembered.
The call was answered a minute later.
"You've gone back to China?"
Although it was a question, Ji Mingjing's tone was quite certain.
Master Meng chuckled and said, "When people get old, they naturally want to return to their roots."
Ji Mingjing asked him, "Did you need something from me?"
"I received a message that someone wants to put Pei Kaiwen and Wu Xiaoxiao in bed together. He is the grandson of the Ding family. You have a good relationship with the Ding family. Could you please make a call and ask if he is willing to marry Wu Xiaoxiao in this way?"
After Master Meng finished speaking, Ji Mingjing's expression changed drastically, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you saying Pei Kaiwen is with?"
"Wu Xiaoxiao. The daughter of the Wu family. Wu Lao Er married a woman when he was a gangster and had a daughter named Wu Xiaoxiao. However, they divorced in middle age, apparently because of his daughter. Wu Lao Er has been looking for his ex-wife, but he hasn't found her yet."
Grandpa Meng rambled on and on, finally asking, "If you ask me, if he just agreed to let his daughter marry that man, do you think his ex-wife wouldn't come to their daughter's wedding? You agree, right?"
Ji Mingjing offered no comment: "You've become more talkative."
Master Meng felt a lump in his throat.
The place he went to was a godforsaken place where nobody spoke. If he didn't say a few words, people would think he was a mute struggling to survive.
Over time, he did become more talkative, wanting to chat with everyone.
In the past, he wouldn't have exchanged more than a few words with the Wu family's little girl.
He even took the initiative to call Ji Mingjing and talked to him for so long!
"I'm just concerned about you, aren't I?" Master Meng said awkwardly.
Ji Mingjing reminded him, "Thank you. If you've taken this job, then cancel it; they won't be getting married."
"Okay, I'll make a call and decline."
After ending the call, Master Meng called the young girl from the Wu family.
"Mr. Meng! I'm so happy you remembered me so quickly."
As soon as the phone rang, Wu Lizhen answered it eagerly, wishing she could fly to Master Meng's side immediately.
"This deal is cancelled," Master Meng said indifferently.
Wu Lizhen's smile froze. She hadn't expected Master Meng to reject her so directly, and she was so angry that she almost slammed down the phone.
"Master Meng, this is a piece of cake for you, why can't you help me?"
